This study complements the extant literature by constructing COVID-19 economic vulnerability and resilience indexes using a global sample of 150 countries categorised into four principal regions: Africa, Asia-Pacific and the Middle East, America, and Europe. Seven variables are used for the vulnerability index and nine for the resilience index. Both regions and sampled countries are classified in terms of the two proposed and computed indexes. The classification of countries is also provided in terms of four scenarios pertaining to vulnerability and resilience characteristics: low vulnerability-low resilience, high vulnerability-low resilience, high vulnerability-high resilience, and low vulnerability-high resilience to illustrate sensitive, severe, asymptomatic, and best cases, respectively. The findings are relevant to policy makers, especially as they pertain to decision-making in resource allocation in the fight against the global pandemic.
本研究通过构建新冠疫情经济脆弱性和恢复力指数来补充现有文献，该指数使用了来自150个国家的全球样本，这些国家分为四个主要地区：非洲、亚太和中东、美洲以及欧洲。脆弱性指数使用了七个变量，恢复力指数使用了九个变量。根据这两个提出并计算出的指数对地区和抽样国家进行了分类。还根据与脆弱性和恢复力特征相关的四种情景对国家进行了分类：低脆弱性-低恢复力、高脆弱性-低恢复力、高脆弱性-高恢复力以及低脆弱性-高恢复力，分别说明敏感、严重、无症状和最佳情况。这些研究结果对政策制定者具有参考价值，特别是在抗击全球疫情的资源分配决策方面。
